"It is believed to gain power one must use power. Using power attracts
power. Storing power short term is advised, the fi will eat your power
if it can".
This brought up a couple of thoughts. I have seen what happens when people seek power and accumulate it with negative results to both themselves and others around them. Power vitalises what is inside us, and that includes the FI, the ego. It can go to our heads! Thats how I took what LW meant when he said "the FI eats your power". The results are for example, those with unaddressed self importance will often use it to seek power over others. An empowered FI in action.
It also brought to mind the idea that power or Chi likes circulation- to flow, like water, like feelings, like the Tao....it doesnt want to be stagnate. Like money too, it likes to flow....Ive never been sure of the idea of accumulating lots of money, sensing that for me it works best if it is used. Same with possessions for me....if I dont use something for a long time, I pass it on, keeping the flow going.
People often think to increas resources one has to hoard and not spend their energy, their money their power, but I have found quite the opposite. To increase the available energy and money and power one has to use it, send it back into circulation, clean oneself up inside in the process in order to be a greater vessel to receive the greater current....And to increase the current we need to give it back out, to spend it, use it...
Any thoughts on this folks?
Spud you indicated that Lone Wolfs statement above spoke to you also, feel like elaborating on that ?
